Romney calling a "blind trust" a "ruse".
It's a ridiculous false equivalency.

Obama is one of 113,365 people that are a part of that retirement plan and has no more rights than any of them within that plan. That's backed up by the fact that Obama's share of money in that retirement plan is approximately a tiny fraction of it's value: 1/111,600
That Illinois retirement plan is a pure investor with no say in the operations and Obama has virtually no say in what they invest in.
Romney still owns stock in Bain. He still owns stock in Sensata. Bain has the controlling interest in Sensata and a gang of Bain executives on Sensata's board of directors. People who Romney hired to work at Bain and worked with Romney at Bain are still at Bain shipping jobs overseas. And Romney continues to profit from that - even if he gives the Sensata stock to charity because he gets a tax break.
And what did Romney do to try to discourage these jobs from going to China when he was in a position to at least try? Like he did with his previous Bain investments: crickets.
There's a gigantic difference between the position of the two men on this. The question is how capable the media are at explaining that difference. Previously, they have too frequently been rather incompetent on average when dealing with false equivalencies.
